The config tab dialog of plugins managment is available on KDE CVS here :

http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdeextragear-3/digikam/utilities/setup/setupplugins.cpp?rev=1.8&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

A screenshoot is here :

the plugins shortkeys config like this :

void DigikamApp::slotEditKeys()
{
    KKeyDialog* dialog = new KKeyDialog();
    dialog->insert( actionCollection(), i18n( "General" ) );
    
    #ifdef HAVE_KIPI    // KIPI plugins.

    KIPI::PluginLoader::List list = KipiPluginLoader_->pluginList();
    
    for( KIPI::PluginLoader::List::Iterator it = list.begin() ; it != 
list.end() ; ++it ) 
        {
        KIPI::Plugin* plugin = (*it).plugin;
        dialog->insert( plugin->actionCollection(), (*it).comment );
        }
    
    #endif 
    
    dialog->configure();

    delete dialog;
}
